Inductive sensor e.g. for detecting rotation of toothed wheel

摘要

The housing of the sensor (4) can be moved exactly in a position spaced from this. The sensor housing has radially protruding projections (6, 7), which is the assembled condition engage with their external contour in pockets (10, fig. 2) of the inner casing surface (11) of the sleeve (3), which are aligned radially outwards. The pockets (10) merge with sloping surfaces (12, fig. 2) in the inner casing surface of the sleeve (3). The sleeve (3) has a smaller dia. than the outer dia. of the projections (6). The projection (6) or auxiliary projections are supported axially on sloping ramps (7). The sloping up region of these ramps begin only after such a rotation of the sensor housing from the mounting position. After which the projections (6) leave their pockets (10), and have reached the inner casing surface (11) of the sleeve (3).
